    the view of the vineyard from the patio
    Michael G.

    They have a great setup. Nice building, nice patio for tastings, a very nice view into the fields, and an excellent selection of wines. I learned a lot about how Walla Walla became a wine destination. They were also very accommodating to our pooch with a water bowl and some treats.

    Last week we took a wine-tasting vacation in Walla Walla and had a wonderful time! Northstar was our favorite of the four wineries we visited. Our server was knowledgeable, pleasant, and polite. The grounds are lovely. Really nice charcuterie plate, with a variety of flavors. The wines are amazing! I actually like a charcuterie plate because I will try different flavors with the wines to see what I would consider pairing at home. What does this taste like with that? Maybe I'm unconventional, but it works for me and I know what I like. Also, I love little goodies like fun books, chocolates, etc. Dress it up and make it fun for us, we love it! Northstar had a few nice displays and I took home a pretty, collectable book with our order. I do love pretty books! The nicest thing they did that really made me feel special was they sent me home with a Mother's Day gift, a couple of glasses and coasters. When someone goes out of their way to make an experience extra special, I think they deserve recognition. So to Northstar...for your excellent wines, delightful server, beautiful location, yummy snacks, and all the extras, I thank you kindly for an unforgettable experience!

    The wine was okay but my group of 7 girlfriends came here today and there were three Cornhole sets not being played and we walked 10 feet away from our table to play Cornhole and were told we couldn't play because it was part of the "cabana package" all of which were empty and not reserved. Very strange that we were not allowed to play a lawn game. I've never heard of or experienced this type of snootiness at a winery, even in Napa.

    Blending Experience

    My partner and I came to both taste and sit in on a blending experience. Jeff did a fantastic job of making us feel at home, educating us on the history of the area and Northstar, and guiding our blending experience and tour of the facility. I do enjoying getting into the nerdy bits when it comes to wine and my partner just enjoys great wine, we both were blown away by how much fun we had tasting our different wines and then blending our own bottle! I really can't thank Jeff enough for the time he spent helping us along the way! Oh, also, Northstar's wines are amazing and will please any fan of bold reds you may know. A must visit if you are in Walla Walla.

    This is by far my favorite winery in Walla Walla. We had a wonderful experience at their tasting room, we sat outside on the patio with a great view! We ended up sitting at the tasting room for at least an hour enjoying all 8 wines and paced very well. Northstar is the kind of winery where it's hard to choose one bottle to purchase because you can't remember which wine was best (because they're all so good!). Literally all of the wines were amazing and I will definitely be back to visit. If you're considering joining a wine club - start here!

    This review is for our experience at the freshly restarted "Fights and Bites" program. The tasting session consists of a short tour of the grounds, a visit to the cellar and a 3 course wine and food pairing. The wines featured were all Walla Walla area wines and the food was also sourced locally. Chef Penny Addison (of Cameo Heights renown) blew us away with her pork shoulder dish and incredible Panna Cotta desert. The wines paired wonderfully with the food. This tasting was a blast. I don't know why other folks aren't jumping on this feature. I believe it was $48 pp.

    Disappointing, they normally have great product. Tried an 04 and 05, better luck next year, service was fantastic! I would stop by other vineyards this year. PS they have a tasting fee.

    One of our very favorite Walla Walla wineries! The staff is always amazing and the wine is delicious. Pricing varies depending on vintage but you must try the Premier! Say hi to Kim, Tiffany, Murf and the rest of the gang.

The staff/owner, were incredibly friendly and made us feel truly welcome with her smile The ambience is modern and inviting perfect for enjoying a glass of wine. The restrooms were spotless and stylish, and a thoughtful touch was the dark chocolate in the women's restroom, which was a lovely surprise. I really enjoyed the overall tasting experience. The tasting menu included two reds and one white, all of which were excellent. The most surprising part came at the end, when we were ready to pay and the staff informed us that the tasting was complimentary. We were genuinely shocked and grateful, and we ended up purchasing two bottles.

I understand that it's a small, family-run business, but receiving multiple confirmations felt excessive and not quite the relaxed vibe one looks for while on vacation. That said, the property itself is gorgeous and the setting is beautiful both indoors and outdoors. We were seated outside, and the service was fantastic. Our sommelier was friendly, engaging, and made the experience enjoyable. She took the time to sit with on the parties and have a personal one on one chat .The wines themselves were excellent ,we even ended up buying a bottle. Overall, it was a lovely visit, but it's probably not a place I would prioritize returning to on a future trip.

    A Memorable Visit - Warm Hospitality, Great Wine, and Dog-Friendly!…read more We visited Kinhaven on a Sunday around 2pm and were immediately greeted by Chris, who was incredibly friendly, charismatic, and knowledgeable about the wines and their vineyard sites. He took the time to make us feel welcome, ensuring we were comfortable at our shaded table (it was around 95°F!) and never rushed us through the tasting. He even remembered our names and gave great recommendations for nearby dinner spots to check out after our visit. We brought our Australian Shepherd along, and he was warmly welcomed as well. They also have their own adorable winery dog, Monty (possibly a Shih Tzu?), who was mostly inside but made an appearance toward the end of our tasting. He's a bit cautious with other dogs but very sweet. We sat outside and enjoyed the peaceful setting. We learned Kinhaven also hosts weddings--there had just been one the night before with about 50 guests dining in the orchard. It sounds absolutely picturesque! As for the wines--every single one we tried was impressively good. The $25 per person tasting fee is waived with the purchase of two bottles, which is more than worth it given the quality. Highly recommend visiting--great wine, thoughtful service, and a relaxing, welcoming environment! Exactly what we were looking for!

The location is super…read moreconvenient-- right along the Main Street and close to a bunch of other wineries, so you can make a whole afternoon (or day) of tasting if you like. The wine itself is high quality. There aren't a ton of varietals, but what they do they do right.

The tasting room has excellent ambiance, and for those interested there is a large bear statue that makes for a nice photo op.

I'd suggest giving this one a try as it not only has delicious wines, it's got a great story and fun experience. If you're a Twin Peaks/Kyle MacLachlan fan, you'll love this place. Kyle owns the winery and the tasting room staffer Stacey regaled us with fun stories about Kyle growing up in Yakima and his deep involvement with the project. If you're into bears, you will love this place. Is it weird to say that there is such a thing as tasteful bear decor? I think there is and this place has it! Huge bronze bear statue included. And oh yeah, the wines! They are lovely. It was a carefully chosen and fun tasting experience and I recommend!
